There is no 'Green Hill' in the Fens ...

All , This Easter tide ......


So sorry I haven't been around much of late ,for many and varied reasons ,but I felt I had to make an entry on this Easter day ,I will endevour to make an effort to join you all again more often ...Maurice and I went over to Peterborough yesterday to see the family ,bearing Easter cards etc ,On our way home Maurice said look ,and there in a remote field out here in the Fens we spied ,the three crosses ,Maurice turned the car around so that I could get out and take the following pictures ...Hence my title today ,I just had to share them with you ,the starkness is some how ..poignant isnt it ?


Last Monday,I went to the co-op ,for some after the weekend shopping ,I always take my trolley now since my back went on me recently ,I dont attempt to carry anything anymore ,Up the road opposite me as I came away from the store I saw alot of people ,and being me 'nosy' stopped to see what was happening ,Imagine my feelings when as they came closer ,I saw it was the pilgrims on their way to Walsingham carrying the Cross ,I think I told you last year they leave a small cross as they enter a town or village as they pass through ,on the verge at the side of the road ,I hadnt got my camera ,and was tempted to walk a little way with them ,but didnt feel it would be quite right ,with my shopping trolly !!Any way the next day in the local paper I found this picture of the Pilgrims ,so I scanned it to share with you all


A couple of weeks ago Maurice and I went to Spalding in Lincolnshire ,they have an outletpark Called Springfields ,with lots of nice shops with bargains ,Marks and Spencer and Clarks being a couple of favourites ,Lincolnshire being famous for bulb growing ,though saddly not as much now as it once was ,we passed lots of fields of Daffodils ,so of course I took a picture !
As I said ,I will be back soon, meanwhile enjoy what is left of the weekend .....
And as usual.. love from
